Comments:

Course was slightly more challenging than expected, but that doesn't excuse this performance. Considering I ran faster splits in very windy conditions for 5 miles at the Delmar Dash, it's safe to say this proves what I've been feeling: I'm losing fitness. We will see if I'm able to find the time and motivation to turn things around for summer.

As for the actual race, I went up the opening hill a little too hard then just held on, never really being able to bring my pace down. Not great strategy but don't think it made a difference.
What would you do differently?:

Not show up to a race out of shape?
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around meeting up with everyone.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Poor fitness

Event comments:

Overall a nice event, and impressive given its size and the course right through the middle of Albany on a weekday evening. They had some live music and the patrons of establishments along the way were outside cheering. Nothing really going on post race but I guess I wasn't expecting too much either. Overall had a lot of fun with my classmates and even though I was disappointed, they were all very impressed, so that was nice.
